Monday Mindful Art Club

A weekly supportive art group combining easy art activities, mindfulness exercises and company, hosted by two mental health professionals in Stonehouse, Plymouth.

This Monday afternoon group at Union Corner begins with a check-in chat, followed by a short guided mindfulness session and a simple art activity that anyone can do, with no art experience required. Hosts Emma Sprawson and Peggy Melmoth, founders of Mindful Art Club with backgrounds in addiction treatment and therapeutic counselling, lead the sessions with an emphasis on being present and self-care rather than teaching art techniques. Occasional guest speakers talk about local services, charities or personal experiences of mental health recovery. Sessions last 90 minutes and booking is essential as places are limited.
